Review:

Infinityx says:Hi there! I'm here for the sixth day of the 12 days of reviewing challenge.

I think this chapter was absolutely brilliant. I love your writing style and your descriptions were so vivid. I'm impressed by the way you pulled of drunk Draco without any of it being overdone. His characterization is brilliant and I'm so interested to know what happens to him later.

Astoria is very different here compared to other stories I've read. She was always characterized as a beautiful, vain and a typical pureblood person. I love the way she is in this story, as well as the impact she has on Draco.

I also think the way you've written the reaction of other people towards Draco, and the way he comes to terms with it, makes this chapter very well rounded. There weren't any mistakes as far as I could see and I loved this chapter. I'm so intrigued to keep reading and find out what happens and that's exactly what I'm going to do. :)

Cheers,
Erin.

Author's Response: Hello, hello!

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I spent quite a bit of time tweaking and fine-tuning the descriptions from the Ragged Fang and elsewhere, trying to figure out which details would have stuck out to somebody who was helplessly intoxicated.

I tried to make Astoria fairly well grounded in this story, but still with some of that pureblood, aristocratic arrogance to her. I tend to think of vain as being her sister's department. There's no way the family could survive with two of them. ;)

I imagine that the Malfoys were loathed by nearly everyone who suffered under the Death Eaters. It would have seemed like they bought their way out of a prison sentence to anyone who didn't realize how Narcissa's defiance of Voldemort made it possible for Harry to win.

Thank you for the lovely review and good luck in the 12 days challenge! I hope you get a chance to read more!
